Thecus N5200: Screaming fast, but plenty rough around the edges Introduction If the email and discussion forum postings asking when this review would be posted are any indication, the N5200 has a lot of people excited. Thecus has pushed the envelope—at least for the "prosumer" NAS market—and upped the ante by producing a five bay BYOD RAID NAS that throws in two more RAID modes (6 and 10) to boot. Unfortunately, while the performance of the 5200 established a number of new highs on our NAS charts, its feature set and firmware maturity may disappoint Thecus fans who have been chomping at the bit to get their hands on one. But I get ahead of myself... The 5200's chassis attempts to strike a balance between something your wife would immediately banish from the living room media center and the utilitarian look that only a data center manager could love. At around 9.25"H x 7.5"W x 9.75"D, this NAS is on the largish side. Figure 1: Front Panel Figure 2: Front Panel feature description Related Items:

A Free DLNA Media Server For Mac, Windows, and Linux Recyclebank Need some good news? Michael Vick’s Bad Newz Kennel property has been sold to an animal rights group that will turn it into a permanent sanctuary for abused dogs. A different kind of recycling story. Ready for some good news? According to Dogster, the former Bad Newz Kennels, now notorious for the savagery inflicted on dogs by Vick and others, will become the new address of Dogs Deserve Better (DDB), a group that opposes all forms of abuse, including chaining and penning of dogs. DDB has been searching for a facility to call their own since the group began its efforts to foster and re-home rescued dogs nine years ago. Share this with Your Friends

NETGEAR ReadyNAS Community » Blog Archive » Making Time Machine work with the ReadyNAS The following is a summary of how to make Time Machine work with the ReadyNAS by DavidB based on initial contribution by btaroli and refinements by sirozha and a host of others on the ReadyNAS Mac/OSX Forum. We are thankful of the Mac enthusiasts who frequent and contribute to the ReadyNAS forum. If you are using RAIDiator 4.1.5+ on the ReadyNAS NV+, NV, Duo, 1100, X6, or 600, or RAIDiator x86 4.2.3+ for the ReadyNAS Pro or NVX, you can use the built-in Time Machine support on the ReadyNAS for a simpler of setting up your backups. Instructions here. Ok I’ve just converted a second machine to use the NAS for networked Time Machine backups, and this time things went straight through without any mistakes. This example was done using a Mac Mini with a hostname of “magpie”, running OS X 10.5.2 and connected via 802.11g to a ReadyNAS NV+ (RAIDiator 4.01c1-p1 [1.00a041] with AFP patch loaded). That’s it.
